D/L107 29.07.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS)1528 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kharagpur (Local)Police Station Case No.1116 of 2025 dated 21.12.2025 under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c)/25/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; Deepak Poddar & Anr. Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra Mr. Palash Bapari Ms. Madhurai Sinha Ms. Upasana Banerjee Mr. Bisal Roy. …for the petitioners. Mr. Parmanand Sharma Mr. Sunil Gupta. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the alleged recovery in the present case is 22.957 kgs. of ganja. Another accused, namely, Mustaqui @ Mustafa has been granted bail in CRM(NDPS)1452 of 2026. Prosecution has relied upon 13 witnesses in order to prove its case. Although charges have been framed but witness action has not commenced in the present case. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. Having considered the quantum of recovery in the present case and that some time will be required to take the trial to 2 its logical conclusion, I am of the view that further detention of the present petitioners are unwarranted. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is allowed. The petitioners, namely, Deepak Poddar and Faruk Seikh shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) each with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, under NDPS Act, 4th Court, Paschim Medinipur. If on bail, the petitioners shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Paschim Meinipur without prior permission of the learned special court. Thus, CRM(NDPS) 1528 of 2026 is allowed. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
